Let’s be honest: There’s no better day of the year to annoy our non-U2 friends on social media by inundating them with U2 lyrics, photos, videos, homemade memes with cheesy shamrock borders around Bono’s face and the like. If you haven’t done it yet, I highly encourage you to take the next few minutes to […]
Read MoreU2 Album Anniversaries | War and NLOTH
In the past week, we celebrated the anniversaries (or are they birthdays?) of two U2 albums: the 33rd anniversary of War on February 28 (Sunday), and the 7th anniversary of No Line on the Horizon on February 25. There are so many fans who can reflect on War more articulately than I can, because: a.) […]
Read MoreWhat’s U2 Doing in LA this Week?
As we all know, they were shunned by the Grammys so obviously (and very unfortunately) it isn’t that – although Bono was supposedly spotted at a pre-Grammy party with Orlando Bloom and company over the weekend (I only know this because when I did a Google News search for “Bono Grammys,” I found a Page […]
Read MoreU2 Tribute Band Interview: The Joshua Tree
Last year, I began my quest to interview as many U2 tribute bands as possible. With at least four U2 tributes in the LA area, that might take some time – but today, I bring you my second U2 tribute band interview and it is with none other than The Joshua Tree. Note: This is not the […]
Read MoreDavid Bowie and U2: Friendship Once it’s Won
None of us should be surprised that U2 has a strong connection to David Bowie, who is gone too soon this week at age 69. We all know that the band chose “Space Oddity” as the unofficial theme song of the 360 Tour seven years ago (yes, it’s been that long! Thanks to Deena from […]
Read MoreDream it All Up Again
Believe it or not, it’s been 26 years to the day since U2 played their third night of Dublin dates at the Point Depot on the Lovetown tour…the night when Bono infamously said this: “I was explaining to people the other night, but I might’ve got it a bit wrong – this is just the […]
Read MoreA Very U2 Christmas
What’s your favorite U2 Christmas reference? I don’t just mean U2 Christmas song, because there are U2 Christmas songs, lyrics, collaborations, melodies and more! Like Bono busking on Grafton Street one week from today, I’m giving it my all when it comes to listing all the U2 Christmas references ever recorded (if I missed any, […]
Read MoreU2 Life Goes On!
This week, those of you returning home from Dublin are probably somewhere between fantastically exhilarated and gravely depressed. You’ve probably forgotten who you are and where you come from, because for the past week, you were Irish – all smiling and making out with the powerful (AKA the upper echelon of U2 fandom, and possibly […]
Read MoreThe Ultimate U2 Snippet for Dublin
The band is in Dublin, and there are two shows left. What rare song should they play? Obviously, A Sort of Homecoming! As our friends at U2 Gigs recorded, U2 appropriately played this fan favorite at Slane Castle on August 25, 2001, and again on November 16, 2001 in Oakland, CA (that time, because the […]

Know Your Bonoisms, Part 19 – Forgotten U2 Song Lyrics
Well, we made it. We’re at Bono’s magic number na-na-na-nineteen and it’s time to talk about lyrics. When I first got active in the U2 fan community, my Twitter handle was @U2LyricsDaily1. That’s because I wanted to post lyrics every day and @U2Lyrics was taken. Well, it didn’t take long for me to decide that […]
